Anthropologists use a linear model that relates femur length to height (both measured in centimeters.) The model allows an anthropologists to determine the height of an individual when only a partial skeleton (including the femur) is found. In this problem we find the model by analyzing the data on the femur length and height for ten males. The regression equation is found to be: height= 80.68+ 1.92 * femur length
